Apple has not yet started charging the new tax to customers. I just did a build to order which will ship directly from China. People are going to go nuts when this changes.

I had an amazing couple days in Cannon Beach, Oregon this week. My first photo trip of the year and the most successful I’ve had in a long time.

I’m going to a 90s theme party tonight which is an excellent excuse to whip out one of the first hand held cell phones made. iPhone for scale, this thing is a beast!

Not only are most sequels a let down, the Squid Game creator originally said he wasn’t planning on one and then said he’s doing it for the money. It never had a chance. www.bbc.com/news/article...

It never ceases to amaze me how big cargo ships are (and this isn’t an especially large one). That’s a Washington State Ferry loaded with 100+ vehicles in front and it looks like a life boat in comparison.

I took advantage of the sunny weather today and found some sea stars down at the Seattle waterfront. They have really made a comeback in recent years.

You should learn how these tools work before scolding a student (and then trashing them online!). The slides do not belong to OpenAI now. The model is a set of static weights, it does not learn. OpenAI doesn’t keep what you upload. This is fine and most future students will do the same thing.

With hiking season over I have been looking for other things to keep busy. Winter storms make for great wave watching and this was my first time down at Cape Disappointment.

A fire watch for the cascades over 4th of July is not a great setup. Really hoping idiots with fireworks don’t ruin anything. #wawx
